"The Apocalypse Code Hank Hanegraaff" Fabulous read, couldn't put it down.For fans of the Bible Answerman Radio show-this book reiterates common themes heard on the show:his coined term E2-Exegetical Eschatology-L.I.G.H.T.S.:using proper principles to read the Bible for all its worth,equiping oneself in Biblical discernment so as not to fall for tabloid sensationalistic end times prophecies du jour-critiques of a type of dispensationalism-where emphasis is put on a chosen race due to ethinicity not of belief & relationship to God(especially a retort to the Left Behind Series)..A brief background history of the atmosphere for 1stc. Christians,Patmos,the Roman Emperors etc.True Israel/False Israel, the True Bride of Christ/The Prostituted Bride of Christ, gematria/ 666 etc. It encourages believers to put the emphasis back on the Savior instead of on fear of the endtimes.
"An absolute must read for every Christian" This book is a must read for every Christian. Hank hits the nail on the head when it comes to "reading the Bible for all its worth" and for anyone who is interested in what the book of Revelation is really communicating. Hank makes a clear and concise presentation of what it is that most Christians believe about the end times controversy and why they beleive it. He also clearly demonstrates the problem with dispensationalism and why "prophetic" preachers are missing the mark. I wish every Christian would open their eyes to this issue so that sound fundemental teaching within the church would return on the end times controversy. No other explaination of the book of Revelation makes sense. Thanks Hank for your dedication, time and for standing for TRUTH in a world where people will believe anything.
"apocalypse cod. a fishy diatribe against hankys enemy" If Hanky would spend as much time on scripture as he does on attacking his enemy and Israel, then this could be a great book. But , alas it is just another exercise in spiritual egotism and boasting.
"Relatively good content, highly repetitive" In general, I agree with Hanegraaff's biblical exegesis. However, he is in serious need of a better editor. This book's content is good, but it's HIGHLY repetitive. Basically, if you read the first 50 to 100 pages, you've got the gist of his argument. The rest just repeats itself - same examples over and over...and over. For this reason alone, I won't be able to recommend this book to people.
Another weakness of this volume is that the author doesn't present a coherent model for interpreting Scripture. Rather than organizing the content around the theme of poking holes in traditional dispensationalism, he would have been better served putting for the positive case for his position. How does his view deal with the hard passages? What is his view on the millennium? etc. Unless you're a trained theologian or a highly well read lay person, you won't have the foggiest idea what the author is talking about about half the time.
The best strength of the volume was the author's square confrontation of the misguided efforts of Christian Zionism to rebuild the Temple and the horrible human rights violations we have supported against the Palestinians. Christians ought to be deeply troubled by these issues. Sadly, many evangelicals are not.
I really wanted this book to be good. Seriously. I want to find an entry-level book to recommend to friends that will introduce them to these important ideas. But this ain't it...
"Not what I expected" I have been brought up in churches that have a traditional dispensationalist view point on eschatology. I have always had questions about it and some of the areas of scripture that we would cover didn't seem to line up with the dispensational view. As of right now I am just currently reading through revelation with commentaries that provide different view points and reading books by authors with different view points. Therefore, right now I do not prefer one eschatological view over another. That being said, this book was not very helpful in having a better or deeper understanding of eschatology. Hank Hanegraaff focuses more on dismanteling dispensationalism, rather than building a model of his own. Now I know some who have commented on this book have mentioned how Hanegraaff teaches one "How" to think rather than "What" to think. I think it is a great concept but I don't really think that is what Hanegraaff does in this book. It is ALWAYS much easier to poke holes in a theory than to construct one of your own and expose it to the same scrutiny and criticism. After reading the Apocalypse Code I walked away with far more questions than answers. Even the statements and small conclusions that Hanegraaff states in his book are not well thought out or well supported. He doesn't get deep into anyone topic. Bottom line, he attacked an argument without ever establishing his own. This book was not very helpful for me in having a better understanding of eschatology. Again he makes some interesting claims but does not provide nearly enough support for them and never puts them together in the form of a model so that the reader can see how they flow together. My feeling is that there are probably other books out there that make similar claims as those make by Hanegraaff but do a better job of laying them out in a model where the reader can see the details and have more questions answered. I felt as if I was reading an introduction to the book the entire way through the book. It left me with a sense as if the book never really began.

What our customer's say!
"Lacking in Scholarship and Integrity", In "The Apocalypse Code", Hank Hanegraff exposes himself as a biased ideologue who, at best, lacks sufficient knowledge to offer an intelligent contribution to the debate over the various models of eschatology, or at worst, intentionally misleads his readers into adopting his personal belief system.
His hysterical obsession with critical diatribe against dispensational theologians and authors completely destroys any credibility he may have otherwise enjoyed. His supposedly new and innovative "method" of Bible interpretation (the so-called "Exegetical Eschatology") is so laced with personal bias it amounts to nothing more than a desperate support system for his personal theology. The very name "Exegetical Eschatology" bespeaks such arrogance it should immediately awaken a healthy skepticism. It implies that only those who agree with Hank's personal view of end-times have applied legitimate exegesis in their interpretation (please see Proverbs 16:18).
If you have been influenced by "The Apocalypse Code", please read the reviews and critiques of this unfortunate work by respected dispensational theologians such as Dr. Norman Geisler - or better yet, read the book "Breaking the Apocalypse Code" by the outstanding team of Mark Hitchcock and Thomas Ice who expose Hanegraff's bias and deceit.
"A polemic against dispensationalists and Tim LaHaye", It's unfortunate that a man who has done so much to expose cults and aberrant beliefs would resort to a personal diatribe against LaHaye and dispensationalists in general. His e squared method is nothing new, and neither is partial preterism/futurism.
"Wow, What a Disappointment!!", I have always thought of Hank as a really smart guy, but he is absolutely wrong about this issue. Scriptural interpretation is always literal whenever it is possible to be literal. If it is not possible to be literal, then we know it is symbolism. Otherwise, we are left up to self interpretation of most of the Bible, freely deciding what is literal and what is not. Hank is basically using interpretations taught by St. Augustine in the early Catholic Church. I personally think he is completely wrong. I think there will be a literal tribulation and literal 1000 year reign.
I also was astounded to see him criticize me and hundreds of thousands of other Christians who believe that the Israelis are the chosen people of God. I guess I am one of those Zionists he criticizes, but I believe the Bible backs me up on this. I am much more concerned with his anti-Jewish sentiments in this book than I am his Biblical interpretation. I certainly won't look at him the same way anymore. I'm quite disillusioned with Hank after reading this book.
"The Old Testament as Code to Unlocking Revelation", Hank Hanegraaff has done all non-Dispensationalists a service by writing The Apocalypse Code. If anyone wonders why you question the Left Behind eschatology so prevalent in the U.S.A. today, hand them this book. The Apocalypse Code is written with the lay-person in mind, making it a splendid introduction to eschatology and the rules for interpreting Revelation.
Though the title and the cover look somewhat "sensationalist," The Apocalypse Code contains a rather simple premise. The code to unlocking Revelation's secrets is in understanding the Old Testament. Indeed, Hanegraaff points out how Revelation quotes the Old Testament hundreds of times.
Hanegraaff does not set forth a scholarly system of eschatology. Because this book is intended for the layperson, it contains helpful suggestions for biblical interpretation. Hanegraaff calls the main one LIGHTS. In order to correctly interpret Revelation, one must understand five principles: the Literal principle, the Illumination principle, the Grammatical principle, the Historical principle, the Typological principle, and Scriptural synergy. As he takes the reader through this system of interpretation, he demolishes the Dispensationalist view. By the end of the book, Dispensationalism collapses under the weight of its own incredulous affirmations.
Hanegraaff's eschatological views can be considered moderately preterist. He believes in an early date for Revelation. He sees much of New Testament prophecy fulfilled in the first century, and he avoids the sensationalist tendency of eschatological predictions that plague the church today.
But whether or not you are a preterist, you will benefit from The Apocalypse Code. Hanegraaff's principles of interpretation are more beneficial than the system he sets forth. Rather than constructing a full theology of the End Times, Hanegraaff is content to give the reader principles for interpreting Revelation, allowing the reader the chance to form his or her own conclusions.
The only misstep in Hanegraaff's work is the way in which he critiques LaHaye and other Dispensationalists. Rather than simply dealing on the level of ideas, Hanegraaff uses illustrations that link (for example) LaHaye's grammatical conclusions to Bill Clinton's testimony about the meaning of "is." While this may be rhetorically effective, it is quite over-the-top, undermining much of the weightier matters that Hanegraaff addresses.
Still, The Apocalypse Code is a worthy effort from a well-known radio personality. It is one of the better books on eschatology to grace the bookshelves of your local Christian store. I recommend you pick it up, consider the exegetical rules found within, and then pass it on to some friends.
"Finally, something that makes sense", For years I've been confused by what I'd heard people say when it came to the book of Revelation. It seemed to me that for all the confidence they exhuded as they spoke, it all sounded like a lot of dancing around, trying to make the events occuring in our world fit with prophecy from Revelation. I viewed what they said as if it were some Stephen King novel and not a biblical reality. When I began to read Hank's book I quickly saw that this is not what Hank's book is about. Hank wants his readers to understand the language of the bible and with it a deeper understanding of God. I've studied enough to know that prophecy usually has a two-fold fulfillment, one fulfillment being close to the timespan in which the prophecy was uttered to ensure the credibility of the prophet and the second was to occur in the distant future. Finally, as I was reading the Apacolypse Code and applying it to scripture, everything I knew to be true about God came alive and the fog began to lift in my brain as events and scripture fell into place. I'm only about half way through the book but I feel that with each page, I'm growing more in my faith and the questions that I wrestled with for many years have been addressed. I know several athiests and agnostics and I feel that because of what I've learned, I will be able to speak with confidence about prophecy and make sense where before it all sounded to me like a crazy person on steriods.

"The Apocalypse Code", I did not like this book as it did not conform to my ideas of end-time prophesy.
"Tiresome and Negative", In this book Mr. Hanagraaff spends far, far more time blasting other views than making a case for his own. He even wastes a few hundred words on Bill Clinton, as if WJC has anything to do with the Bible. When Hank did explain his position, it was interesting enough and contained some relevant information. On this I agree with him - I do not believe in the dispensational pre-trib view, and can go as far as to say I think it is a false teaching. All that said, Hank seems to think his view is right and everyone else is wrong. Rare company indeed. He should do a better job of making His own case, and do less assuming that his view is the gospel truth. The book is a great sleep aid, though.
"Triumphalism Revisted", Classic replacement theology. I am not famaliar with Mr. Hanegraaf's adversary but this book is irrationally fixated on his adversary. This book repeats the classic anti-semitic stance of the "church fathers" by allegorizing Israel and yet fuses allegorical and conrete arguments of the TaNaKh, which when read in context argue for a much different conclusion then what Mr. Hankhanegraaf pleads for in this book. This book is poorly organised and the logic is nonsequetor. Recommend you save your money and look for a more civil discourse and coherent presentation.
"Excellent, But Flawed", This excellent critique of dispensationalism and exposition of orthodox preterism hopefully will bring these ideas to Hank's Bible Answer Man audience. I look forward to a few years from now seeing this as a turn of the corner on the erroneous doctrines of dispensationalism.
However, this book has a serious, and completely unnecessary, flaw. Not content to attack Christian Zionism is a theological school (it's aberrant), Hank turns to attack the state of Israel as a nation. In particular, he seems to believe that Israel was uniquely unjust and racist at its formation in its treatment of Palestinian Arabs (which begs the question, unaddressed by Hank, whether he thinks Israel should exist at all). This would be bad enough as a far afield digression from the main point, but his primary evidence for this charge is Bennie Morris's "The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem."
Hank gives no hint that, far from being accepted history, Morris's idea are controversial, not universally accepted and seem to reflect poor scholarship. In particular, Efraim Karsh's "Fabricating Israeli History: The `New Historians'" looks at these questions. While reading the English-language version of Morris' book, Karsh happened upon a quote from a letter Ben-Gurion wrote to his son, allegedly stating that, "we must expel the Arabs and take their places." Karsh "recalled the letter saying something quite different." On examination, it transpired that the Hebrew text read as follows: "We do not wish, we do not need to expel Arabs and take their place ... All our aspiration is built on the assumption that there is enough room in the country for ourselves and the Arabs."
Wow! I'm going to assume Hank knows none of this or he would have included it. But one really has to wonder why Hank used Morris as a source without checking him out first? Too often Christians are only too willing to believe bad things about the state of Israel. We need to guard against anti-Semitism much more than we think we do.
"Excellent Guide to "How to Study Scripture" ", I read this book through in just a few days. It gives excellent guidance on how to properly exegete Scripture, whether studying end times prophecy or any other topic. You don't have to agree with Hanegraaff's position in order to appreciate the lessons in proper hermeneutics. On the other hand, he does an excellent job in pointing out many of the exegetical flaws in the dispensationalist premillennial interpretations such as time gaps inserted in verses whose prophetic purpose was to communicate a time table. (Arbitrarily inserting a time gap renders the verse incomprehensible.) He also does a great job explaining the Olivet Discourse from a partial preterist point of view. This book has value even for those who disagree with his position.
